If a transcriber wants to narrow down the list of dictations by author name, they can create a filter tab by clicking on the Plus icon on the department view:
Once you click the Plus icon, a tab editor appears. Click on "New Tab" to create a new tab
Give the new tab a name, and type in the first names or first name and surname of an author, separated by a comma for each separate author
For instance, if you type in "Sam, Lewis, Georgie", the tab will show you all dictations from people with the first name of either Sam, Lewis, or Georgie. If you type full names separated by comma, for example "Sam, Lewis Hamilton, Georgie", the filter tab will only give you dictations for Lewis Hamilton, but not any other Lewis with a different surname.
Click Save to save the tab. You can later go back with the Plus icon to edit the tabs.
